EDITOR: I guess Trumps missile attack of Syria was not enough.; did not kill Assad or get rid of Russia, Iran, and Hezbolliites. So now Israel will start WW 3 for us as a favor so the last of the White Christian nations ( U.S. & RUSSIA) will kill each other off.

Unconfirmed reports from local sources of an ‘Explosion’ in the Golan Heights, working to confirm now.

EDITOR:Israel is now DIRECTLY targeting LIVE Iranian and Russian assets. That's a very significant escalation from the way Strikes have been carried out previously. This is a BIG heads up folks. Something has changed!

Yes, you read that correctly: Freedom of action in SYRIAN airspace. These people are so unschooled. No couth. No common sense. They're going to start World War 3, and when Russia slaps down their planes for attacking Syria, Israel will come crying to the US claiming they've been "attacked." What a bunch of crap.
